Home of Rebirth

When Xia Yue came back, Mother Xia was sweeping the floor in the mahjong hall. The fire in the room was glowing red, with water boiling on it, and it was slowly steaming.

"Mom." Xia Yue called out.

Xia's mother was taken aback, and looked up: "I'm back, how is your Huaiyuan brother at school, is there anything missing, did you send the things I gave you yesterday to your Grandpa Luo?"

"Give them all away, and Grandpa Luo also told you not to be angry." Xia Yue walked over, took the broom, and said while sweeping the floor: "My brother is also very good, the dormitory is very warm, and the food in the cafeteria is also very good Well, I have accepted what you gave, and let me thank you."

Yesterday's heavy snowfall was so fierce, the snow on the streets is knee-deep now, and the weather is the coldest after snowfall, no one even comes to play mahjong in the mahjong parlor, Xia Yue feels that the whole Anqiao District is quiet of.

"This kid is just being polite. Thank you, I grew up with him." Xia's mother was not in a good mood, and sat on the small kang in the house by herself.

After Xia Yue finished sweeping the floor, he also sat down next to his mother: "Mom, what's the matter, are you still angry with my father?"

Xia's mother ignored him: "The adult's business, children should not care about it."

"Why are you angry with him? I've been with him for so many years. You should know him best. He is different from normal people. The 8000 yuan must have been given to him by my Uncle Liu, mother. Don't be angry with him."

"Who is angry with him? If I was really angry with your dead father, I would have been pissed off by him long ago." Mama Xia was filled with righteous indignation: "I just can't swallow this breath, why do you think your Uncle Liu is so shameless?" And your father Xia Laosan, you think you can handle her if he's not smart, it's nothing at all, he has too many things in mind."

Xia's mother turned to look at her son, shook her head and sighed, "You don't understand your father, Xia Lao San... Xia Lao San has no memory at all, and his ears are still soft, so stupid that he can't stand others. A good word, then you don’t know how your Uncle Liu has won him over for so many years. When you use him, you just call him “Three Brothers and Three Brothers.” Three idiots, what are you talking about? I know all this, but sometimes I just don’t want to talk about it, what about your buddies.”

"..." Xia Yue thought for a while and asked, "Then...Mom, do you still want the 8000 yuan?"

"Yes, why don't you? I have nothing to say about his brother Xia wanting to subsidize their buddies, but it's definitely not good if he wants to use my money." Mother Xia stared.

Xia Yue was helpless, just looking at him like Uncle Liu, it was not easy to ask for the money.

Xia's mother sighed again, then took her son's hand and muttered: "Son... do you think that mother is too cruel and pushes your father too hard, as if deliberately turning him against his brother?" have to."

Xia Yue shook his head: "No, Mom, you did the right thing. I also bothered Uncle Six and the others. If I don't pursue it this time, there will be more such things in the future. It's just that I'm afraid of my dad, he's too stupid."

"I know too. Otherwise, I would have made trouble at your sixth uncle's house long ago, and then everyone will see who is ashamed." Mama Xia gritted her teeth.

"..." Xia Yue laughed and comforted her: "Okay, you can be content now, my dad...Although what you did this time is wrong, overall it's pretty good."

"Yeah, your dad is much stronger now than before, and I'm just getting more and more dissatisfied. When I first lived with your dad, I knew he was not smart. At that time, I thought, just work and earn money. But now that he can make money, I hope he can take care of everything like other gentlemen."

Xia's mother sighed: "But Xia's third child is not like that after all, son, you don't even know that our family has been well-off these past few years, but there are also people who borrow money, not only those relatives of the old Xia's family, your aunt just borrowed money when she opened her mouth. Wan, she said she wanted to find a job for your elder sister Changchang, and your second aunt also borrowed money to help Guan Fu go to school, but I didn't borrow it because I knew that they weren't really short of money, just you When my uncle came to borrow money, my mother hesitated, because it was too difficult. Your old uncle is not in good health. If his rheumatism is not cured quickly, he will collapse on the kang in the future, and Chen Tianyu, who is so handsome Thin and small, he has never eaten anything, he looks like a vicious dog when he sees food, his eyes glow green, when I see that child, I remember when I was young with your old uncle, with that child Similarly, no one cared about us at that time, our eyes turned green from hunger, so his family borrowed money, and my mother borrowed it, but your father was angry, and he blocked me with this matter, you said, your uncle and you Can Sixth Uncle do the same? If your Sixth Uncle looks like your old uncle, can I do this? When your old aunt and uncle came to borrow money, I also borrowed it."

Mother Xia talked eloquently for half a car, and the more she talked, the more wronged she became.

Xia Yue quickly comforted her, and coquettishly took her mother's thin and dry hand: "Okay, okay, my dad is like that, can you be as knowledgeable as he is?"

Xia Yue understands Mama Xia. This woman is a little afraid of poverty, so when she has money, she just wants to save it and not spend it recklessly.

Because she didn't want to have no money when she was taking medicine, she didn't want to be unable to eat or drink at home for a day, and she didn't want to be unable to order school uniforms for his son because of lack of money, so that his son would be looked down upon.

But she is not stingy, but she will not be taken advantage of.

This is the woman of this era. There are thousands of such mothers and wives in this era.

When Xia Lao San came back from get off work at night, at the door, he saw the chimney smoking at home, which proved that there was someone in the house, so he hurried into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I started looking for where my daughter-in-law was, but after searching around, there was only one son at home who was doing his homework seriously.

He rubbed his big rough hands, went into his son's hut, took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xia Yue, and asked flatteringly, "Where's your mother?"

"..." Xia Yue looked at him: "Where is the mahjong parlor?"

"Oh, oh, I'm back." The third Xia was very happy, he turned around and went out and said, "It's so late, I'll go pick up your mother."

"You'd better not go, my mother said she lives in the mahjong hall by herself." Xia Yue calmly reminded.

"why?"

"Because you don't know why?" Xia Yue said casually, "My mother is angry with you."

"I haven't calmed down yet..." Xia's third child suddenly froze: "Did you not persuade her when you came back today, why don't you go to the mahjong parlor to persuade your mother now, your mother listens to you the most."

"I don't dare to go. I persuaded me today. My mother kicked me out, saying that we are in the same group. Not only don't you, but I don't want you anymore." Xia Yue put down the pen in his hand and said calmly: "So Dad, no one is cooking when my mother is not at home. I'm hungry, what do we want to eat?"

Xia Lao San quarreled with his wife for two days, and was left out for another two days. Now he doesn't even have a meal, and he has a son who has been pestering him to eat.

Xia Lao San had no choice, and did not dare to go to the mahjong parlor to find his wife, so he could only cook for his son first.

He also doesn't know how to cook, so he eats when he barely cooks.

In fact, Xia Yue can cook, but he just wanted Xia Lao San to know what it was like to live without a wife at home.

In this way, Xia's mother didn't go home for several days, and slept in the mahjong parlor every day, ignoring Xia's third child at all.

Not long after, word spread throughout the Anqiao district.

Some people knew that it was Xia Laosan who secretly borrowed money from his younger brother, but some didn't know that it was Xia Laosan who stole money and gave it to other women.

This incident was widely spread, and Xia Yue's second uncle and old aunt also came to the door one after another.

Came here to persuade Mother Xia, but what he said was also aimed at his brother.

Xia's mother ignored him at all, and just put down a word with them: "When will he, Uncle Liu, return the money, and when will this matter be over, or wait for the day when she goes to their factory to make trouble."

This is Xia Yue's trick for her.

You can't just make a fuss about this kind of thing, otherwise it will spread that Mama Xia is wrong, so you have to put pressure on Uncle Liu first, and take the whole old Xia's family with you.

Xia Yue knows Xia Lao Liu very well, this person is not a person who can calm down, now he cares about Xia Lao San borrowing money smoothly, tasted the sweetness, and will have to borrow in the future, as long as he dares to open his mouth next time, when the time comes In front of Lao Xia's family, new and old hatred broke out at the same time.

And he was also curious, what does Xia Laoliu do every day to borrow so much money.

So he deliberately asked someone to inquire about it.

It turns out that Xia Lao Liu has recently become obsessed with going to the game hall.

This game hall is not the arcade game hall at the gate of their school. This game hall is almost an underground casino. The main thing in it is the horse betting machines. Generally, the games are quite big. If you are really addicted, the money is there Just like a piece of paper.

He originally lost all his wages and owed the boss 600 yuan. When everyone in the game hall thought he could no longer play, who knew he would get a lot of money and talk nonsense.

No matter what, Xia Lao San had to give as much as he wanted.

Someone asked him, why, your third brother doesn't owe you anything.

He said that if those three idiots didn't give him the money, then his third sister-in-law would have to go to her mother's house instead.

When Xia Yue heard this, he almost lost his temper.

He didn't have that much patience to wait for Xia Laoliu to take care of their family to borrow money again, so he went to Feng Wang and asked him if he knew the people who opened the game hall.

It turned out that Feng Wang really knew someone, and this person was not only familiar with Feng Wang, but also knew Li Qingran, and had several meals with Li Qingran.

This person used to sell discs at home, but later changed to a game hall. He has made some money in the past few years, so he wants to do some serious business with Feng Wang.

As soon as he heard that he wanted to trouble him for something, he obliged to agree on the spot.

So, Xia Laoliu originally played in another game hall, and met someone in that game hall, and that person took him to another game hall to play a few games, and ended up throwing 5000 yuan there in one night.

After losing so much money, Xia Laoliu's eyes were straightened, and he wanted to get it back, and then he lost all the 2000 yuan coins that the boss of the game hall credited.

Later, if he wanted to borrow again, he would not borrow it, and asked him to return the 2000 yuan immediately.

He had no money, and he had lost so much, so he wanted to play a rogue with others. He was repaired and thrown out, and he was warned that if he didn't pay back the money within three days, his hand would be chopped off.

To be able to open this business these days is a bit like the underworld.

Xia Laoliu was afraid, so he thought of Xia Laosan again as he should.

That night, I went to Xia Laosan again to borrow 5000 yuan, and said very nicely, that I would pay back the money in half a month, with 5000 yuan and the 8000 yuan from last time.

He also lied to Xia Laosan that he was doing business, and he would get his money back immediately if he bought a batch of goods with this money.

Xia Lao Liu thought very well, anyway, he also knew that now Xia Lao's three families still don't lack this little money.

But he never expected that this was a set designed by Xia Yue, just waiting for him to come over.
